A light release week to give everyone time to nurse their Superb Owl hangovers. And speaking of football and video games, stupid freakin’ Madden Curse for Rob Gronkowski! At least the New England Patriots still made it in without him! Before you get your sports ball game on this evening, check out these two video game titles landing on Tuesday in North America.
Nioh

Splasher
Release Date: February 7, 2017
Platforms: PC
Splasher is an indie platformer full of humor and surprises. It uses a paint cannon as a weapon that can change the environment making things sticky, bouncy, or increasing attacks. The designer Romain Claude is a former Ubisoft employee who worked on Rayman and Rabbids titles so hopefully the fun and humor of those games shines through.
